I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

In UK we have to eat halal beef, pork and lamb with no choice. However last week one of our food markets, with a Jewish history, said that muslim shop assistants would not have to serve pork products or alcohol.

Imagine, you reach the head of the queue, your basket is almost checked and she discovers a pork chop.

Well such was the outcry from Christian pig eaters threatening to boycott the stores that the company did an immediate volte face.

And you can't make it up.
